We must move forward, in faith, in His confidence and in His authority (Joshua 1:1-11).

Tuesday Night Bible, in-person, 7:00 pm A Study of Paul’s letter to the Romans

Acedemic Graduates, we salute, applaud and congratulate you on this special moment and the opportunities it opens for you. Your last chapter is closing, and another is beginning. Let Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego’s example be yours (Daniel 1). They were offered the world’s pleasures and chose not to defile themselves and the Lord gave them favor. Find yourself clinging to the things of God in every endeavor, every direction your life takes you and on every avenue, you find yourself. God has called you to a higher calling and has plans for your life (Jer. 29:11). To God be the glory for the great things he has done in your life and will do.

From the New Berean Baptist Church Family and Ministry

Let’s Go! – Let the Lord use you here at New Berean. Serving in the Lord’s work is the greatest opportunity to grow in our faith and help someone else grow in theirs.

If the Lord has been moving you in the direction of a certain area of ministry fill out the Volunteer Sign Up form below and let us help direct you. God has called all of us to “reach up” to Him for guidance and “reach out ” in service to the needs of others.

Pastor Harris returns to the ministry with great expectation and anticipation of continuing to carry out “The Commission of Christ“, through the execution of “The Berean Way”.

The morning worship service will be followed by a special reception in honor and recognition of this new day and special opportunity to glorify the Lord. By appointing an overseer to this local assembly, we will be able to further God’s agenda to be lights in this world, students of the word and evangelizing our communities for the cause of Christ.

The New Berean Family welcomes Pastor Antonio and First Lady Samantha as their official first Sunday. Giving thanks to the Lord or the great things He is doing, has done and is going to do.

Happy Mother’s Day

We are responsible for making decisions all day every day. From getting cold coffee to having a peppermint latte to going to work (on time) or going fishing (with the crew). To be or not to be and the decisions we make go on. Even if we choose not to decide, we have decided that too.

Isarel was given an assignment to choose a new king (I Sam. 16). The people had their standards, but failed to realize, that God’s ways were not theirs. God sees things from a divine perspective and wants us to trust him and confident in his ways. God wanted them to transition from Saul into a new day, new era under the new man that he was going to select.

As we approach a new day a new era in our life and ministry, let us consider the direction God wants for us by:

• Humbling Ourselves – Hebrew 4:10
• Search and Study the Scriptures – Acts 17:11, 2 Timothy 2:15
• Pray for Direction – Proverbs 2:6, I Thess 5:17, James 1:2-8,

The call to Pastor is the call of God to shepherd, oversee, lead, feed and disciple people to live lives to the glory and honor the Lord. He is a vessel chosen (Acts 9:15) to look out for and look over the people who make up the church of Christ and locally meet to fulfill the “The Commission” which he has ordained.

The call comes from God’s heart to fulfill his plan. His plan involves providing a person with his mindset, “And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding” Jer. 13:15. The word shepherd is translated from the word, rāʿâ, which means to tend, feed, teach and rule over. The divine call to pastor is to submit to the role of servant by giving of themselves for sake of the flock, God’s flock.

As we approach these historic of days at New Berean, we are encouraged to submit ourselves to God’s will and God’s word in prayer continually and showing ourselves approved by searching the scriptures daily (not weekly, monthly or conveniently), encouraging one another . when we meet and when we are away from one another until we meet again.
